Pros

- employee new graduates so good for getting a foot on the ladder - flexible working hours

Cons

- pay is very low (pay rises are also few and very far between) - refuse to sign staff off probation after initial period giving no reason for extending leaving you with no job security/sick pay ect (large number of people worked up to a year waiting for probation to end!) - training takes an excessive amount of time, you are left doing the same analysis day in day out for months, or making yourself look busy when there nothing your trained in to do - extremely high staff turnover - and a less than enjoyable atmosphere within the lab

Pros

Good group of people in local office.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Unwilling to consider updating methods or procedures. "We've done it this way for 30 years and it has worked." Sales relies upon project engineers to do most of their work for them. When volume of work is slow that becomes the engineers responsibility to go find new clients. Can't reliably pay the most basic of utility bills on time. I've seen the power cut off 2x and the gas this past winter.
